Yes, I have came to the conclusions that  MGS4 must be the best game ever made.  I am playing through it for an 12th time and still found new paths to take when playing missions.  Granted I dont watch the cut scenes anymore but the game play is still just as outstanding as the first time I picked up.  This jewel has not lost its sparkle.

thats cool i really should buy this, but im not sure ill like the stealth genre.

^^you can play it all action.

you choose

^Its not all stealth. I thinks thats why I like it. You can make it stealth or massive action. There is only oe art of the game where oyu have to fallow and use stealth.

 Stealth or Action. You can choose your playstyle. You can even tweak almost everything on a lot of guns! For example;

You get an M4.

And I turned it into an M4 with Grenade launcher, a shoulder attachment for increased hip-fire accuracy. A 2nd grip for less backfire, a Red-Dot-Sight, increased ammo-clips, different kinds of ammo, you name it, it's there! And there's like 70+ weapons in the game.

I'm going to replay it again soon. I'm going on an easter egg hunt!

I like the cutscenes just as much as the gameplay. Raiden is a legend.
Best game ive ever played

^^^I'm glad Raiden started to get some respect. I may have been the only person who thought that he was awesome in Metal Gear Solid 2!

I dont think it stands up to much repeated play, but that first run through will stay with you a while

How good was the bit where Raiden makes his return, owns all the Gekko etc and then says "Snake, its my turn to protect you."
